We maintain an extensive database of top groups and individuals interested in working as background actors and extras in historical reconstructions, drama or other productions. So there’s no need for you to spend time searching for the right people when we have this information at our fingertips.

Production companies often opt for using re-enactment groups for historical reconstructions, but there are a bewildering number and variety of groups to choose from, with hundreds of societies in Britain alone. But as re-enactment is a voluntary activity, standards vary enormously from group to group. Historical authenticity and client satisfaction are not always priorities with some, so choosing an inappropriate group can lead to a sub-standard result. Fortunately, there is no need to risk time-consuming or expensive mistakes. Just consult Historic Film Services*. We can remove any worries about whether the re-enactors will be up to the job. Work with us and you know they will be. Historical eras recreated include from the ancient world to World War Two and beyond. So whether you require a Stone Age man or company of German Wehrmacht of 1944,  we can source the appropriate specialist extras.
